From: Burgundy, FranceBlend: ChardonnayTaste: The nose begins with roasted almonds and hazelnuts, mingling with vegetal and flowers. Hawthorn, elderberry, fern, linden, and verbena notes follow, while a mineral undertone of flint adds a compelling depth with subtle hints of butter, honey, and citrus fruits.
